Shades by Lee Hazlewood that appears on the album had previously been issued as the B side to A Million and One. Two tracks, Any Time and Ain't Gonna Try Anymore, from this album had been released originally on Martin's 1963 album Dean "Tex" Martin: Country Style. The song Any Time was appearing for the third time on an LP by Martin, having also featured on his album Somewhere There's a Someone, released earlier in 1966.
